• I bought a used computer and do not know the password to unlock

  I bought a used computer. I don't know the password. The password can be removed and mine used to unlock? The former owner is not available.

  Best to make a/Clean Custom installation of XP. Never can tell what the unwanted (like viruses) may exist.

  (1) Note the make and model of your computer.

  (2) check that the 25-character product key is always fixed to the case or at the bottom of your laptop.

  3) go to the support of the manufacture web site and know what "F" key, you will need to press on when the computer starts, run a reinstallation of XP (or use the recovery media if you have a).

  (4) reinstall XP and create a new user account. Note: If you use the support CD of 'Recover' you will need to re-enter the product key to activate Windows.

  so I want to format my pc but my backup disk do not seem to work...

  so I used vista (32-bit) on one of my old PC to save, but on this one its pre-installed (64-bit), someone could help me out although it?

  Hello

  Here are the different ways to reinstall vista

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  Save all data, because it will be lost, do the above

• You just bought a used computer and he hacked into software on it. What should I do?

  original title: buy old pc

  I am just buying a second-hand computer... I didn't know it is installed with pirated software... what should I do... buy a software or buy a hard drive with the software... I can spend it...

  Your computer has a COA sticker on it, with the version and edition of Windows?

  the product key is readable? (DON'T post it!)

  If so, see if you can borrow a disk of that kind of a person - it will take him to be a disc of MS OEM System Builder, NOT an OEM recovery disk (unless it's for the exact make and model of your machine)

  You can not buy hard drives with preinstalled software.

  Legal XP packs for sale are now very rare - and most copies sold on sites like eBay or Criagslist are counterfeits, then attention who you buy if you go down this road!

  Your best option if you can't find a disc OEM System Builder (or is unable to read the key from the COA) is to contact the manufacturer and see if they have a set of recovery disks available (or take a look at restoredisks.com) that will restore computer provided the factory software.

  Hi victorialakeplayer2,

  Sorry to hear that your laptop is stolen. Did you buy Lojack or any of the other software anti theft? If you do not you will need to get a police report and fill out this form and send it to Dell.
